Overview

Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.

iOS 9.0.1 was a focused maintenance update for devices that could not finish Setup Assistant and for alarms or timers that sometimes failed to sound.[1]

Apple also corrected distorted paused video frames in Safari and Photos and restored cellular data for some devices using a profile-supplied custom APN.[2]
